This looks like a book that many of us would be interested in. 📖

Peter J. Gagné’s newly released two‑volume set, 𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙨: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙖𝙣 𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙙𝙖, 1665–1668, is now part of our library collection!

Inside you’ll find a rich history of the regiment and 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟳𝟯𝟬 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘀—a treasure trove for anyone researching early French‑Canadian ancestry. We invite you to explore the set during your next visit. You may discover an ancestor among the soldiers—or even find a connection to one of the women known as Les Filles du Roi (“The Daughters of the King”), who were sent by the French crown to help populate New France.

And don’t forget—if your research uncovers a marriage between a Carignan‑Salières soldier or officer and a Fille du Roi, you can apply for our society’s pin to demonstrate your link to these “founding mothers and fathers” of Canada.
